Who is your most favourite and least favourite Harry Potter character and why?
2009-07-22 04:31:34 UTC
Personally i love Severus Snape, there is so much more to him than meets the eye and a lot of the plot of the Harry Potter books revolves around Snape and his hidden characteristics. He is also a brilliant potions master.
However, i cant stand Hermione Granger. She is just annoying, moody and i don't know hoe Ronald puts up with her.
So who do you love, who cant you stand and why is this so?

I love Hermione, simply because she reminds me so much of myself 8-|, I love Ron, I understand why he cracked in the GOF, because he has five brothers, all whom are respected very much, therefore, giving Ron a lot to live up to, so of course he's going to want a little bit of attention, then his best friend (though none of it is his fault) is a celebrity, I feel sorry for him. Harry, did get on my nerves a bit. But most times I liked him, even though he could be outrageously thick and was so over emotional and put himself and sometimes others at risk because he couldn't control himself. Even though I don't even know the character I love baby Teddy, because two of my favourite characters are the parents, and even though he will never know them it gives him a connection to Harry and I loved that in the 7th book. As saddened as I was to read Lupin and Tonk's death. I always found Dobby's obsession and loyalty towards Harry completely adorable. Especially since his last words were "Harry Potter" and he died protecting him. The burial scene was so sad! :'(. I cried when George died. I loved the twins SO much! I love Ginny+Harry and Ron+Hermione
Oh and Dumbledore <3
I didn't really dislike any characters except Umbridge. And Cho Chang pissed me off aswell, messing Harry around then a year after Cedric's death she kisses him then goes crying again and messes him around even more! I could say I hated Voldermort, but then where would the series be without him? :)

Save for Voldemort and Dolores Umbridge (obvious reasons) I'm not really hating anyone. I think that Ron can be annoying sometimes (his temper and the way he over reacts to everything is really stupid sometimes), but overall he's a lovely guy. I just always wanted him and Luna to be together (call me weird, I don't care) because they'd have been an awesome couple. Hermione, IMO, should've always been with someone who was more on her intellectual level.
Like you, I think that Snape is great though! I think he's really brave and all and I love how J.K. twisted his character's plot around and so we never truly saw him.
Hope this helps,

I love Luna and Draco.
Luna is just plain funny, with all her made up things and funny outfits :P and she's also real nice =]. I've also liked Draco since I've read the sixth book. I liked him because it shows how hes so pressured and wouldn't want to be on Voldemort's side if his father and aunt didn't make him. I also felt sorry for him in the 'Sectumsempra' part =[ I also like snape. That chapter about him in deathly hallows almost made me cry a bit...
On the other hand, I don't know who I should dislike lol. I honestly have no clue xD
On the other hand, I don't really dislike anyone

I love almost every character, but I think my favorite is Hermione. I can relate to her the most, because i'm also the 'nerd' in school. Also, think about it: if you were stuck in a forest for more than 6 months, the guy you have a crush on left, but you can't because you want to help your friend whose being hunted down by everyone and you are being hunted down because you are a muggle born, then I would cry and get whiny a lot too.
I also like Ginny, Luna, and Harry, or course.

My favourite character is Dobby. His absolute devotion towards Harry makes him a praise worthy character. Like when he escaped the Malfoys in HP and the Chamber of Secrets to go and inform Harry that there was a great danger awaiting him at Hogwarts and then begged him not to go. He did everything he could think of to try and put Harry out of harm's way. There's also the time in HP and the Goblet of Fire when he breaks into Snape's cabinet to find Gillyweed for Harry so that Harry can win the Triwizard tournament. His happy and carefree attitude towards his life makes him an amazing character. Unlike the other house elfs, he isn't boring. Sure he likes work but what about fun [and freedom]?
My least favourite character is Ron. I just can't stand the guy. He is so self-centred. He was okay in the first book but gradually he starts feeling more and more jealous of Harry. Like when Harry's name came out of the Goblet of Fire unexpectedly and Ron refused point-blank to talk to Harry afterwards, ignoring him and persuaded that Harry had sneaked himself into that competition. I mean can you believe it? He's supposed to be Harry's best friend!! However after the second task when he gets to share a bit of the fame with Harry, he's really happy to be friends again just because everyone is crowding around him wanting to listen to his adventures. And then in the Half Blood Prince during the Potions class, at times he's angry with Harry because Harry is in the spotlight and he's not. He blames fate that the Prince's book isn't his; he can't believe that it was just a matter of luck. What I really can't believe is that he actually walked out on Hermione and Harry in the Deathly Hallows. What a selfish guy! He lets down his two best friends while they are tracking Voldemort. Can't believe he had the guts to do that, how selfish can you get Ron?? [I won't say Ron is entirely bad; he has his good moments like the way he handled that chess game in the Sorcerer's Stone but I can't stand him. He's so whiny. Sure the Weasleys are not well-off but still it's nothing he has to be ashamed of and then envying Harry for having the money his parents left him with. Harry lost his parents. Doesn't the fact that Ron still has Molly and Arthur compensate for the lack of Galleons??]
Yeah I like Snape now. The seventh book was really revealing about him and his hidden characteristics. I disagree with you about Hermione though. She's moody and annoying only because she hasn't been born in the wizard world so it makes her insecure about her knowledge and so she gets quite snappy at times. But she's okay; she's always helped Harry and Ron. Without her, they wouldn't have been able to make that Polyjuice Potion and all. I've got other favourite characters like Moody, Dumbledore, Sirius, Lupin and James. The others that I hate are Peter Pettigrew, Lucius Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange.

Fav : Hermione Granger
She is the smartest of them all and she is the one who finds the solution to all the problems from books 1-3 and 5. In the first one she found out about the potions to enter the chamber in which Quirrell was. In the second she told Ron and Harry about the Basilisk. In the third she was the one with idea to save Buckbeak and in the 5th it was her and Ron's idea to form the D.A.
Least Fav : Voldemort
There is a limit to being evil and he exceeded it by 123456789 million miles. First he made SEVEN horcruxes, I mean SEVEN? Second, he killed most of the people who died and the last this isn't really evil but how does he breathe? XD I mean in the movies the actor doesn't really have a nose!
2009-07-23 10:29:27 UTC
My favourite is also Severus Snape. He always has been, always will be, I always found him so intriguing and interesting. I'm also rather attracted to him, I'd take him over Edward Cullen any day of the year! <3 ... I cried so much whilst reading the chapter "A Prince's Tale" *sobs*
My least is probably Umbridge. She is infuriating! Like, whenever she does anything annoying, I twitch. It's so irritating!Oh, and I also hate James Potter, for obvious reasons...

Hi there,
I easily got for free Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince here: http://bit.ly/1m5Y9rB
no surveys, no scams, just the full game!
This game sequel is somewhat closer to the story on book rather than on the movie. However, there are still some features which are specifically designed for this game.
It's the best game of its category.

My favorite character is a tie between Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. I like Sirius b/c he was always rebelling against his family (The Black Family) and their pureblood/death eater ways. And Lupin b/c he was always looking after Harry and he tried to protect Ted (little Ted) by abandoning him.. but Harry set him straight and he then realized Harry was right...
My least favorite or most disliked was Harry at times. He was such a little b*tch. He was always doing stuff he shouldn't be doing. For example in the Chamber of Secrets he should have taken the knowledge he gained from Hermione and given it to Minerva. He was always trying to be the hero (not intentionally) because he was never comfortable asking for help. And that's why Harry was my disliked most often character.
2009-07-23 02:17:38 UTC
I would have to say Severus Snape and Albus Dumbledore, in the Deathly Hallows you see a glimpse of there early childhood and they are very interesting characters, I wish you could hear more, especially about Dumbledore's magic, since he is one of the most powerful wizards of all time. The person I hate the most is Ginny, she is annoying and quite a bland character and I can't see why Harry likes her.

I love Snape - mainly for the reasons you give. There was always something just below the surface with him, and you knew he felt both love and hate- he is a complex character.
I hated Sirius Black - not because he was a poor character, but because J K Rownling wasted his character - potentially he could have been an amazing character, but he really fizzled out....

Favorite- Tie between Tonks, Luna Lovegood, and Lupin.
Least Favorite- Dolores Umbridge
2009-07-22 14:19:18 UTC
My favorite charactor is Luna Lovegood. She adds her own kind of humor to the stories and it suprises the reader beacuse at times she can be easily related to.
I also like Ron Weasley beacuse he has many good characteristics and seems down-to-earth and REAL.
My least favorite charactor is Professor Slughorn. I hate how he picks favorites. And all he wants is attention is doesn't even bother to recognize the other students who he doesn't think have special talents. Anfd he has made mistakes in his past...
I am also not very fond of Percy Weasley (that traitor), Fenrir Greyback and of course Lord Voldemort.

**SPOILER** (haha, friendly warning) ^-^
All of the characters I love die: Sirius, Lupin, James, Dobby, Snape and Tonks.
I adore the Weasley Twins.
But it's hard to name a character I DON'T like in the book; I really love almost all of them.
Except Umbridge.
She is my absolute least favorite character. I hate her more then Voldemort, which is silly but true.
love
2009-07-22 04:44:53 UTC
Favourite character : Draco (at the moment) ^^
Reason : He's not as bad as he seems. I think he could've been a nice bloke but his father pressured him and turned him into a spoilt brat. It's Lucius's fault. I felt extremely sorry for him when he was crying in the toilets, because we see that he's not just a bully but a vulnerable young boy who is desperate to please his parents. And a very yummy actor plays him ;)
Least favourite character : Hermione.
Reason : She cried all the way through Deathly Hallows. It was really annoying. JK kept putting "tears rolled down her cheeks" and I think she must've cried more than 7 times in total. Besides, she just annoys me lol.

Sirius Black, of course! He's awesome, he was totally hot in his teenage years, he has freaking black hair <3 and so funny. I feel so sorry for him being locked up in Azkaban, I mean arg I hate Peter Pettigrew. He's loyal and wants to be different from his evil family. And of course, he's Gryffindor! I love you Padfoot, rest in peace.
Bellatrix Lestrange. I will never, I repeat never forgive her for killing Sirius. She's twisted evil and cold. All she cares about is Voldy's happiness. She killed so many people, and of course Dobby as well. Dobby was a free elf who loved Harry. She's the reason why Neville's parents will never be the same again. I was so glad when she died.

All my favourite characters DIE its not fair! Lupin and Tonks! How I love Lupin he was all alone and he was so kind and nice. He stayed away from Tonks all that time even though he loved her he was sacrificing his happiness for her how sweet is that? Also Tonks like loved him and didn't care about him being a werewolf she wasn't that shallow and she was funny as well. I wish they would let them two survive in the film (I know they won't) because I would be crying too much in the cinema to be able to leave the cinema i swear my friend might have to carry me out because i would be in tears I have already told my friends to be ready for it! I liked Sirius too I mean his life was so unfair and he was so nice to Harry also I wanted him to be like happy like meet someone and have like a family or something! I love the weasly twins too I mean they were so funny they always made people laugh in the darkest of times and they were so brave too but one died. I loved Snape he was so funny I mean he made me laugh. Even though he said he hated Harry you knew he cared and he saved Harry many times before like in the shreking shack and protects them from Lupin's werewolf form. I love Ron too he was funny and always put his foot in his mouth which made me laugh. I love Luna too she is so out there and smart and brave. She didn't care what people thought and she was a loyal friend which shows Gryffindors are not the only people can be brave so can Ravenclaws.
I hated Umbridge she was so annoying and she had mindless loyalty to the ministry and couldn't develop her own thoughts. I also disliked Harry sometimes I mean he was so mean thinking that Sirius was his only family left emmmmmmmm HELLO the weasleys have treated him as their own and they love him too and what about Lupin he cares he was good friends with them and was like family to him too. I hated Luicus he was like the weakest death eater ever he failed at every attempt and he couldn't even admit it if i was Voldermort I would have killed him for being incomptement. I hate Peter Pettigrew he was so weak I mean he betrayed his friends and he let Sirius take the wrap for it! He was such a leech and he was like the weakest character because he just crawled into a hole and he killed Cedric! I hate him so much! I hate Voldemort he was just so mean I mean what is there to gain from killing Half Bloods like that is going to make you happy i mean he is such an idiot i am sure he could have been happy if he wasn't such an idiot! Him and Bellatrix could have had some seriously unstable children! lol
WHY did they have to kill Tonks and Lupin its not fair!!
Its not fair!
Its not fair!

I love Bellatrix Black (LeStrange), mainly because she's so delightfully insane. She's beautiful, mad, and hilarious. "Avada Kedavra!!! Oh, it's just a fox..." That's good stuff there. So yes, Bellatrix is my favorite.
A close second is Hermione, mainly because she's so...emo. I love it. She over-reacts about everything, and even though it's annoying at times, she's brilliant and funny too. "Just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean we all have!"
My least favorite character is Ginny. There's no reason for her. At all. Harry and Cho would have gotten on just fine without her in my opinion. I don't know what it is, but from the moment she spoke in the first book, I just...couldn't stand her. Down with Ginny. That's my policy.

From the books: Lupin and Ginny are the best(Ginny is **** in the films). And I hate Cornelius Fudge and ernie mcmillan
Bellatrix lestrange is great in the films and Luna as well. I kinda don't like harry in the films.

2009-07-22 18:02:38 UTC
I absolutely love Ron! Flaws and all. I guess its because we have so much in common, and he's the one character that I can somewhat relate too. I know that he's hot headed, and impulsive, and gets pretty jelous easily *grins sheepishly* but he always does the right thing in the end. He has a kind heart.
least favourite has to be Malfoy...all of them, Draco especially. I know Tom Felton is absolutely adorable but the character is such a loser!

2009-07-22 20:26:50 UTC
i agree with u ... i like snape and also the weasly twins!!!!o and dobby cuz he is sooo cute!!! there r soo many more but ill stop there
i hate hermione cuz she is a know it all... but she is important to the storyline and gets harry and ron out of trouble many times... i really couldnt stand lockheart either. i hate percy cuz he is annoying. oo and dont forget about umbridge.

I absolutely LOVE Severus Snape, he has a very charismatic character and for some unknowable reason, i love his personality and who he is, i think that he's very interesting indeed .
I must have a thing for the Dark Arts because my other possibly most FAVORITE character is Bellatrix Lestrange. i want to BE HER :p i just love her, i love all of her scenes, and i love her relationship with Voldemort, it's so fun to read/watch !
Least favorite would have to be either Ron or Hermione, Ron reminds me too much of somebody i know which i HATE. and Hermione, like i get that she's supposed to be like the voice of reason and everything and the books so rely on her for some of their endeavors but i cannot stand her, she's too whiny. she is always crying it's like okay drop the ******* hormones. =/

2009-07-22 07:17:15 UTC
I love Snape but I love Draco more he's just so bad and I love it.
My least favorite character is Umbridge I hated her so much.
2009-07-22 04:38:09 UTC
Personally it is something about Dumbledore I love but still Harry is just hands down my favorite my least favorite though is not Voldemort but Bellatrix she is such a whiny little ***** I also hate Draco he is such a fagot
2009-07-22 04:55:23 UTC
I like Luna Lovegood. She's actually kinda smart.
I also like Hagrid. He's nice... Friendly and stuff.
I don't like Crabbe & Goyle. They're obnoxious.
I also dislike Percy. Hes just a traitorrr.

My favorite is Lupin. He's awesome and smart and loyal and cares about other people and I feel so bad for him because he is shunned for being a werewolf.
My least favorite is Peter Pettigrew. He is a conniving disloyal jerk who deserved to be killed long before he really was.

My favorite is either Sirius, Fred, George, or Tonks. My least favorite would probably be Bellatrix.

Ron...because he's cute and funny and loyal and he's a good friend

RON/HERMIONE FTW!!!!!!!!
